message 'disconnected from Trello will take a while for my card to update' - how long?

[Monica Franklin]

I had just spent quite a while laying out details of a project in a card needed to be sent off to the next person. As I was hitting the done button, I got a notification that I was disconnected from Trello and that it will be a while for account to update. When I opened my card ALL my data was lost. Will it return? How long will it take? What steps do I take? How often does this happen? Am I wasting my time waiting? Have I wasted my time already mapping it out the first time?
